Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2, Powerful State of Mind with Wade McJacobs

"There's a seed inside every student, and if it doesn't have the suitable soil, it can't grow. So my job is to add as many nutrients to the soil as I can." - Wade McJacobs

To give our youth power is to teach them, and the ability to read opens the mind and creates a path to the imagination like non-other. Learning to read improved my life in ways I can't measure. Being interested in what I'm reading was a huge key, but first, I needed to understand its importance for who I eventually wanted to become. 

Wade has spent most of his life teaching and helping our youth connect reading to empower who they can become. He has helped countless kids and adults become better readers by nourishing the seeds that already exist within. 

Now more than ever, helping immigrants, refugees, and even people in prisons learn to read is an exponentially important task for countless educators. His new book Dare to Read is changing the game with an excellent method to teach reading that is needed now more than ever!
